A NEST IN A POCKET.
A little bird went to and fro,

A little bird went to and fro,
Once in the nesting season,
And sought for shelter high and low,
Until, for some queer reason,
She flew into granary,
Where, on nail suspended,
The farmers coat she CHANGED to see,
And there her search was ended.
The granary was in loft,
Where not n creature met her;
The coat had holiows deep and soft
Could any thing be betterl
And where IL hung, how safe it was,
without breeze 90 rock II!
Come, little busy beak and claws,
Build quick inside the pocket!
Three speckled eggs soon warmly lay
Beneath the happy sitter;
Three little birds-oh, jovl-one day
Began to chirp and twitter.
Until-ah, can you guess the tale?-
The farmer came one morning,
And took his coat down from the nall
Without word of warning!
Poor little frightened motherlingl
Up from her nest she ftuttered,
And stra ghtway every gaping thing
It's wide-mouthed terror uttered.
The good man started back aghaSt;
But merry was his wonder
When in the pocket he at last
Found such uhloOked-fOr plumber.
He put the coat back carefully:
81 guess / have another;
So don't you be afraid of me,
You bright-eyed little mother.
know just how you feel poor thing,
For have youngsters, bless you!
There-stop your foolish flutering-
Nobody shall distress you"
Then merrily he ran away
To tell his wife about it
How in his coat the nesting lay,
And he must do without it,
She laughed, and said she thought he could
And so, all unmOlested,
The mother-birdie and her brood
Safe in the pocket rested,
Till all the little wings were set
In proper flying feather,
And then there was a nest to let
For off they hocked together.
The farmer keeps 1t still to show,
And says that he's the debtor;
His coat is none the worse, you know,
While he's-a little better.

appeals for aid. The tiremen FASTENED to

window was only foot wide. Frantlcally
the woman struggled to get through, and
yI,uIy the firemen pulled and tugged at
her arms The smoke and flames came

TROTTER CONFIRMED.
One of the Sensations at the CapitOI-Other
Nominations Acted Upon.


Nominations Acted Upon.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Senate,
in executive session to-day, confirmed the
nominations of james NJ. Trotter to he
Recorder of Deeds for the District OF
Columbia in place of James c. Matthews,
whose nomination was rejected. Also the
nomination of Captain A. w. Greedy to
he Chief Signal officer. Among other con-
tirmatiOns was that of John Cook TO be
Postmaster at Bridgeport, o., and II. III.
PendletOn, of Wheeling, w. Va, to be
Consul at Southampton, England.
There seems TO have been very little con-
test in the Senate over the confirmation OF
James NJ. TrOtter, the COlOred nominee, to
the Office OF Recorder of Deeds of the
District of Columbia, and no utteranCe OF
the Senate has been or is expected on the
subject. The action of the body, though
apparently inconsistent with the prinCi-
plies enunciated in connection with the
Matthews case, upon the heels of which Il
so closely follows is iseXplained in variety
of ways.
Mr.. TrOttOr came, it is urged, with an
excellent record as an eX-UniOn soldier,
which with the Senate counts for much.
No charge was made against as was the
ease with Matthews either of business
or political nature, and there was nothing
to be said in opposition TO him beyond the
act that he is an alien to the District.
Upon this point, so strongly urged in the
Matthews case, it is said that the Senate
has made a record of its prihciples-haying
pronounced itself emphatically in favor OF
the selection OF District man for purely
local office.
The vote stood 81 to IL. OF the minority
three only, Ingalls,, Sabin and Palmer, are
Republicans.

Will BE Seriously Felt.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The failure ol
the deficiency bill will be
more serious than is generally believed,
iuasmuch as it contained provisions for
supplying pressing demands for postal
service, the denial of which it is, expected
will surely embarass the departments and
the public. The legal machinery of the
government will also be materially disar-
ranged during the remainder of the fiscal
year, rs no more money will be available
for Jurors, witnesses or marshals' fees, and
many prisoners-now confined at Fort
Smith, Ark. cannot be tried for months to
come. A number Of soldiers claims aggre-
eating 500, 900, which have been certified
by the Treasury, will fail also for settle

Details of the Rustchuk Battle and the
Arrest of the Conspirators.
SOFIA, March 4.-The Government au-
thorities have placed under arrest thirty
persons, including NJ. Karaveloff and NJ.
Tsapoff, who were found to be in communi-
cation with the insurgents at Silistria and
Rustchuk.
They are also charged with being impli-
Gated in plot to enlist thirty armed men
for the purpose of creating disturbance
here and adding to the complications with
which the Regency have to contend.
The rising at Rustchuk has been entire
ly suppressed. All the insurgent officers
were either taken prisoners, killed or
wounded. in the battle with the loyal
troops, or were drowned.
The pioneers after arresting the loyal Of
ficers and the commander of the garrison,
summoned the infantry to surrender,
which they refused to do.
Firing then began and the mutineers
were attacked by the militia and forced to
retreat. They were pursued and driven
into the Danube by the infantry. The pi-
oneers took to boats and endeayOred to es-
cape, but their boats were stopped by a
gunboat and they were all compelled to
yield.
The Loyalists entered Silistria without
opposition, They found there the corpse
of Col. Kristeff, commander of the garri-
son, who had been killed by his men. The
other officials escaped into Roumania.
Servia, as a precautionary measure, in
view of the trouble in Bulgaria, has sent
troops to the frontier. 1t is also reported
that the Servian reserves had been called
out.

House recede from its disagreement to the
Senatorial Clerk amendment.
Mr.. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, moved
that the House reoede from its disagree
ment to the amendment and agree to the
same with an amendment giving clerks to
Representatives. Lost.
Mr.. Holman's motion received majori'
ty vote, but Mr.. Taulbee made the point
of no quorum, which consumed the time
until 1:30 o'clock, when his opposition
was withdrawn and the motion declared
to be carried, passing the Legislative Ap'
preparation bill Although the Deficiency
bill had not yet reached the House yet, on
motion of Mr. Long of Massachusetts,, the
Senate amendments to the bill were non
concurred in, and the Speaker authorized
to appoint Conference Committee.
When the disagreement on the FOrtiica-
tiOns bill was reported to the House, Mr..
Randall, of Pennsylvania, stated that the
Senate bill involved an expenditure OF
over $40, ZOO, 900, while the House bill,
which the majority of the House conferees
was willing to adopt, appropriated Sl1,- :
OO0, 900. He obtained leave TO have the
two measures printed in the Record in
order that the country might judge be-
tween them.
Mr.. Butterworth, of Ohio, regretted that
Congress must adjourn without taking 4
step forward in the direction of providing
coast deiences. The failure to agree he at
tributed to the delay in the conferees con-
ing together.
Mr.. Reed. of Maine, criticised the posi-
tion of the House Conferees, declaring that
it meant the manufacture of iron guns and
not of steel guns.
Mr.. Butterworth replied that this was
an entire mistake. The House conferees
had agreed to appropriations for steel
guns, and he declared that there was not
a word of truth in what the gentleman said.
Mr.. Reed reiterated his statements, ar
guing that under, the provisions of the
Heuse bill steel guns could not be manu-
faCtured. The report was accepted and
the bill died.
Mr.. Reed (Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, be-
ing in the chair offered the following reSO-
luton, which was adopted unanimously
by standing vote:
ReSOlred, That the thanks of this House
are hereby rendered to the Hon. John G.
Carlisle, the Speaker, for the courtesy,
ability and fairness with which he has
presided over the deliberations of the Forty
ninth Congress.
AS the hands of the clock finally pointed
to the hour of noon, the Speaker rose, and
calling the House to order, said:
Gentlemen of the House of Representa-
tives: The time for the final adjournment
of the Forty-ninth Congress has arrived
aud | will not detain you a moment longer
than is necessary to return my sincere
Acknowledgements for the uniform and val
liable assistance You have rendered every
proper effort TO observe order and facilitate
the transaction of public business. l thank
you, also, for the resolution passed this
morning, and for the many evidences of
friendship you have exhibited during our
personal and official intercourse as MEM
bers of this House, and / sincerely wish
each and every one of you happy reunion
with family and friends.
And now declare this House adjourned
sine die" Applause on the floor and in
the galleries.

CONGRESS- AND TRADE.
The Adjournment Removes Disturbin
Factor,

The Adjournment Removes bisturbtnG
Factor.
NEW YORK, March Ar. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly trade review says: Now that
Congress has finished its work, an impor-
tant cause of uncertainty and disturbance
of values is out of the way. The relief
felt has been measurable and anticipated
in the markets, which generally score
higher prices than a week ago. Financial
disturbances seem no farther of, however,
than a week ago; foreign exchange is dis
tinctly less favorable to gold exports; the
course Of the stock markets indicates for
the time foreign buying rather than
selling. A clear increase in west
bound shipments Of goods and greater
activity in some branches OF the dry goods
trade may be traced to the Inter State bill,
which will 90 into operation in April, and
will affect special rates and contracts. The
favorable classification for cotton goods
shipped westward will be effected, for in
stance.
Trunk lines have adopted new classes
and rates, which are in effect q sub
stantial advance 80 that the first
result of the measure is some
increase in charges for transportation.
Some improvement is noted in the woolen
trade, but orders are still smaller than
last year, so that fine and Territorial
woods are lower, though worsted wools are
scarce and strong. 1t is significant that
shoddy also rises in price while wool
weakens, the demand being logged for
cheaper grades of cloth.
Cottons have been more active and
middling uplands rose to 9sc, with
MORE FOREIGN BUYING.
Boots and shoes move more freely but
dullness is felt in the leather trade.
The pause in the iron business is now
noticed, but prices yield only for specula-
tive or largely imported articles; in spite
of slack demand for raw iron and import
ant products, there is confident tone.
Wheat speculation takes the form Of
struggling between powerful combina-
ton here, at Cincinnati and in California,
which is said to hold thirty million BUSH
els, and foreigners who are selling prices,
are o shade lower than last week.
Pork speculation after passing Sl5 per
barrel, has been killed by the Chicago
board, which fixes that price rs basis for
margin deals, and thus saves legitimate
traders from the clutch of a combination.
Labor difficulties look less threatening.
The business failures during the last seven
days number for the United States 2O3, for
Canada 26, total 229, against 200 last week
and 246 for. the corresponding week of last

The Death Of the FOrty-Ninth
Congress.
STATESMEN ALL TAGGED OUT.
Several Important Measures Killed for Want
Of Time to Effect Their
Completion.
The FORTIFICATIONS BILL DIES.
The River and HarbOr Bill Killed and the
General Deficiency Bill Fails-TrOttsr
Confirmed by the Senate-Scsnes
at the Capitol.

WASHINGTON, March At has been a
day Of sensations.
Congress died in spasms.
The sensations were
The confirmation of Trotter.
The failure of the River and Harbor bill.
The abandonment of the FOrtifcations
bill.
The death of the General Deficiency bill.
The River and Harbor bill failed to re-
ceiye the Presidents signature. 1t reached
him several days ago, but was pocket
vetoed"
The General Deficiency Appropriation
bill failed for lack of time to engrOss it.
The FOrtifcations Appropriation bill was
abandoned, an agreement of conferees be-
ing utterly impossible.
Last night was busy one at the Execu-
tive Mansion. The President passed good
part of the night at his desk in the library,
examining and signing bills, and consult
ing with members OF his Cabinet about
appropriations affecting their respective
departments. All through the night the
President remained about the library, and
at intervals messengers arrived with bills
that had passed both houses and only
needed the Presidents signature to
become laws. Two important bills which
yesterday had been before the President
for ten days - the anti Polygamy
and the Trade Dollar bills-were allowed
to become laws without his signature, but
a large number were considered and signed
during the night. The President last
night notified the President of the Senate
and Speaker of the House that the Execu-
tive Mansion would be open all night and
up to noon to-day, and that he would be
on hand ut all hours OF the night to pass
upon measures requiring executive action,
and as a consequence OF the work accom-
pliShed last night, it was thought it would
be unnecessary for the President TO come
to the Capitol to-day to sign bills.
